“At Bethlehem Housing and Support Services, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and
stable place to call home,” says Executive Director Lori Beech. “We are committed to doing
everything we can to help individuals and families in Niagara build brighter futures.”
Bethlehem Housing was founded to address the deep connection between poverty and
housing insecurity. Today, it provides safe, affordable housing and essential support services
for individuals and families facing hardships such as homelessness, domestic violence, and
financial instability.
The organization not only offers a roof over people’s heads but also walks
beside them on their journey to stability, independence, and hope.
For children, a stable home is life-changing. Bethlehem’s after-school program, funded by
United Way, offers a safe and welcoming space for students from early learning to grade
eight. Here, they enjoy healthy snacks, crafts, and outdoor fun while developing vital life
skills like teamwork, conflict resolution, and creativity.

“I like to come to the after-school program because of the great people,” says Christopher, a young participant.
“Coming helps me be around other kids, and I love talking to them. I feel safe here.”
With United Way’s support, Bethlehem Housing is able to host the after-school program, and also host 40 fresh food markets annually, ensuring families have access to nutritious food.
Their housing and support programs continue to transform lives, creating a Niagara where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity, security, and hope.
It's never too late to support your community.
